Hello everyone. I am so sorry that the winners have not yet been announced. I've had two incredibly bad weeks since Starfall (migraines lasting multiple days, one after the other) and I haven't been able to get online and do the judging. It really wasn't my intention to leave you hanging this long, but the delay is entirely on me (not the other judges) and I am sorry for that.

I've gone through all the entries this evening and made sure we have Dressing Room copies of all the outfits that are being pulled from dragons in your Clans - so if you would like to take your Rave Regalia outfits off your dragons, you may do so. They will still be in the running and we'll be able to see the outfit(s) you submitted. (If you entered an image via Imgur or another photosharing site, please don't delete it just yet!)

To give you an update on the judging: we have had a look through all your wonderful entries and we are currently working on final decisions together.

Thank you all for your patience so far. I am really sorry to keep you waiting.

Something about a lover lost and found ...

No worries, take your time with the judging! I know first hand how stressful real life things can be sometimes.

No worries, your health goes first!!

@Lundlaeva

Friendly boop on this again? Hope you're doing okay!

Allow me to begin by apologising for the enormous delay in judging this competition. I would love to blame temporal anomalies in the Starfall Isles, but alas: it’s not down to a time-travel experiment leaking out of the Observatory. It’s been a really tough and busy few months for me and my two lovely co-judges, but even so: I’m very sorry that it has taken so long to get this sorted out. I have felt (and still feel) very guilty that I have let this drag on for so long without ‘finishing’ the event. Please see [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2524941/34#post_37259350][b]the next post[/b][/url] if you would like an explanation about why there has been such a long delay.

There were originally 40 small apparel/familiar prizes in the participation raffle, but I added a few extra things so that [b]everyone who took part will receive a small token prize[/b]. Check your messages! If you took part and do not receive a PM from me - please get in touch! I will sort a small prize out for you. :) [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/dChkCGD.png[/img][/center] Prizes will be sent out via PM tonight (unless I hit my PM limit!). Thank you to @SableSsare and @TheFortissima for their help with judging, @Punkinator919 for the planning support and again to @SableSsare for the beautiful graphics. Finally, thank you again to all of our amazing donators who made the prize packs and participation raffle possible! @Katsuokai @Punkinator919 @PhoenixFire @Nighttyger @Sinestre @Briton @Sidegrinder @Tuatara @woolly @sky09 @MochaFox @Talicinx @chantric @Marut

I put this explanation in a separate post as I know some people would be more interested in the announcement of winners than why the judging has taken so long.

It wouldn’t be right for me to discuss what’s been going on with SableSsare and TheFortissima, but I will tell you about my reasons for the delay. Please understand that I am not saying any of this to get sympathy, just to explain what has been going on!

Immediately following the Starfall Celebration, I had a really bad spell of multiple-day migraines (this has affected me throughout the end of 2018). That has had a massive impact on the judging, as I couldn’t look at screens while experiencing migraine, and therefore I couldn’t organise the judging. When I was (/we were) feeling well, I did try to sync up with my fellow judges on Discord to talk about our preferences, but due to us being in different timezones we kept missing each other. (It was frustrating for us too!)

Eventually, we all put our choices for finalists down on a spreadsheet. Progress! But then December happened. My work is always very busy around this time, and then when the Christmas holidays actually came I had a very full-on (and somewhat nightmarish) two weeks, followed by viral sinusitis last week. I’m feeling a lot better now - and I’ve at last been able to finalise the judging.

I know that none of this excuses the delay. Again, I am sorry.

Please please make any complaints to me (Lundlaeva). Please do not be angry or frustrated with SableSsare and TheFortissima (I will take all the blame as lead judge) or the Arcane Dom team (it has nothing to do with them). I hope this won’t impact your participation in or enjoyment of Arcane events in future!

Thank you for reading and hopefully for your understanding. Apologies once again.

Back to the top of the winners’ announcement!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/7xmmeMg.png[/img] [color=7939b5]I have a couple things I want to say! First of all, @Lundlaeva: please don’t feel bad for taking a while! Your health is very important, so if you needed to take a break to recuperate that is completely understandable! And in the same vein, time zones can be infuriating- but once again, completely understandable. Please don’t worry about originally leaving for health reasons! You’re all fine in my book. :) Secondly, to everyone! You all had such amazing entries! :D Congratulations to all the winners, but good job to everyone else too!

Well, this is a nice surprise! I thought the judging had taken place at some point, and I just hadn't won anything - so I'm quite tickled to find that Pelorusjath did! (Especially since I'd forgotten he'd been an entrant!!)

Meanwhile, my contestant for Folktale Flair continued to "get into character", and now I find my lair has a bona fide Sea Witch in residence!

It was all fun.
